Getting Started in the Industry

New York Style Headshots for Kids & Teens on Long Island. For those of you who are just starting out, or have kids new to the industry, a professional headshot that stands out is key. A headhsot is a marketing tool. I have been working with kids & teens for 15 plus years and I know what talent managers and agents are looking for.

Shooting Location

I shoot all of my headshot sessions in NYC & on Long Island, I travel to any location or I shoot at my home studio.

Natural Light

I choose to shoot all of my headshots using natural light. I happen to love the clean crisp look that natural light produces and this is what managers and agents prefer at the moment. I am very experienced in studio lighting and occasionally I get a request for an indoor headshot session. No problem!

Types of Headshots

Legit | A theatrical shot really pops. It says I am here, I am good and I am confident. Showing confidence in your eyes is how I choose a legit image. Commercial | Warm, friendly and trusting is what casting directors are looking for in this type of shot. Smiley, clean and light.

Check out some great examples of a legit look vs a commercial look below.

How much do headshots cost?

Headshot sessions range from $295.00 to $495.00 depending on age. A make-up artist is available at an additional cost and is paid directly to the artist. I urge all parents who have kids that are serious about their craft to make the investment and hire a hair and make-up artist. It truly makes an obvious difference.

Long Island family photographer, bright, bold, energetic portraits of people.

Summer is pretty much here and I have been preparing for my upcoming photo shoots. I have been scouting locations all over NYC and Long Island. I have so many different locations that I am excited to share with all my clients. This was the first time that I scheduled a photo shoot in Cold Spring Harbor. This town has a little bit of everything and for this session we stayed right by the water.

Capturing the light inside!

Are you ready to take your company to the next level? Have you recently invested in a new website yet handed over the same old photos to your web designer for your bio page? If you are looking to refresh and renew for the spring, then it’s time to have portraits taken that represent who you are now and the image you are trying to convey.

I am a portrait photographer who has a gift for seeing and capturing people and simply, making them feel good & look good!

Throughout my career, I have worked with so many different entrepreneurs, authors, public speakers & large corporations and they all have said the same thing… how did you make me look so good! I take that as a compliment. I am assuring you that I am trustworthy, warm and experienced in my field.

Singer | Songwriter | Actress

I can’t believe we actually did it. People often think that because I am a photographer and actors headshots are one of my niches, that creating a headshot for my own daughter would have happened sooner. For some reason, it never seemed like the right time. I think waiting until she was ready and more mature actually worked out for the best. Having kids in front of my camera almost everyday I can tell the difference between those kids that really want it and what kids parents want it for them more. I think it’s important to push your kids but because this industry is so grueling, I wanted to be sure that this was something SHE truly wanted to pursue and take seriously. We have supported her passion since the beginning and will continue to offer her the best opportunities possible. Now that Celia’s headshots are done and HER desire to “want it” is evident, NYC here we come!

Having positioned myself as the NYC headshot photographer on Long Island has given me an opportunity to meet the most charismatic and adorable little kids. This little girl came to my home studio for headshots this past weekend. When they arrived her Mom told me that her daughter at first wanted nothing to do with getting her photos taken. I met her sister a few months back who was so excited for her headshot session so I didn’t know what to expect.

After talking to her about what she wants to wear, fixing her hair and adding a little make-up etc… she was so into the photo shoot and was truly a pleasure to work with, a natural in front of the camera. After grabbing her headshots we went outside to shoot a little. Take a look!
